Orbital Eunuchs Sniper
This is a Linux/OS X port of the game 'Orbital Sniper', please read the readme.txt for information on that. It has the zlib license.
To comply with the zlib license, the game is now (as of 1.26):
"Orbital Eunuchs Sniper"
COMPILING, INSTALLING, RUNNING, DELETING AFTER FIGURING OUT THAT THERE'S ONLY ONE LEVEL:
To compile: Type ./configure && make
If this is a CVS build, you will have to run autogen.sh first, and hope
it succeeds :)
If the configure stuff doesn't work for you, you can try: make -f Makefile.orig
If you like, you can install using 'make install'
The binary launcher after 'make install' is 'snipe2d'
If you don't want to make install, then cp src/snipe2d.x86.dynamic bin/; cd bin; ./snipe2d.x86.dynamic
See https://bugzilla.icculus.org/ for a place to file bugs/feature requests.
If you are using the autogenerated Makefile, you may need to use make -i.
If you get tired of the one level after playing (and having make install'd), rm -rf /usr/local/games/orbital_eunuchs_sniper

PLAYING:
Orbital Eunuchs Sniper is an overhead shooting game. You (the Eunuch on the

terrorists (red)! You view a city from overhead, from the point of a view of
an orbiting satellite.
Your laser takes some time to recharge.
Control the targeting crosshairs with the mouse.
Fire the weapon with Left Mouse Button.
Zoom with the mousewheel, or hold down Right Mouse Button while moving the mouse up/down.
IN-GAME VIEW:
VIPs are marked with blue reticles.
Terrorists (the enemy) are marked with red reticles.
Innocent pedestrians are marked with white reticles.
Missed shots (craters) are marked with black reticles.
Blue lines indicate the destinations of VIPs.

Dot markers on the screen edge indication positions beyond the current view borders.
